On-demand printing

Printing documents from an entry function is on-demand or direct printing. You can use this printing method to print documents for recently completed or existing orders from these functions:

• Sales Order Entry

  You can print these documents on demand:

  • Acknowledgments
  • Pick tickets
  • Delivery notes
  • Invoices
  • Receipts

  Acknowledgments and invoices do not have stage restrictions. You can print them at any time as long without changing the current stage of the order. If you print an invoice before the order is processed by the Sales Entry Invoice Processing Report, the invoice might not be accurate.

  These restrictions apply when you print sales order documents on demand:

  • If the order approval code on a quote order is the legacy hold code for a margin hold, you cannot print an acknowledgment for a quote order.
  • To print a sales order pick ticket, the sales order must be in Stage 1-Ordered, 2-Picked, or 3-Shipped.
  • You cannot print pick tickets for Quote Orders (QU), Corrections (CR), and unapproved or on-hold orders.
  • You cannot print drop shipped lines, or line item DOs, on pick tickets. You must select Yes for the Print Drop Ship Lines setting on the Sales Entry Processing Pick Tickets Report. When you print a pick ticket on demand, any drop-shipped lines are moved to an order with a higher suffix number. The remaining lines are printed on the pick ticket, and the order stage is advanced to 2-Picked.
  Note: You can also print sales order documents on demand from Sales Credit Release Inquiry and Sales Shipping Feedback Entry.
• Purchase Order Entry

  When you demand print a purchase order in Purchase Order Entry, the auto print stored report, @ + PO + warehouse, is used to print the purchase order. If you do not use an auto stored report for purchase orders, default options on these reports are used, based on the purchase order stage:

  • Purchase Demand Print Report

    Use this report to print POs that are canceled.

  • Purchase Entry Processing Print POs Report

    Use this report to print POs that are in any stage other than canceled.

• Transfer Entry

  Some restrictions apply when you print warehouse transfer pick tickets
